Ironically, I think Canada should do its duty and bolster the American, British, Australian, Japanese, and other forces in Iraq, as all western nations should. That might work. I mean assuming you all want the same thing as me, which is to win as decisively and quickly as possible and send an utterly unmistakable signal to the Neanderthal Islamofascist savages. If not: never mind.
Bolster mission in Afghanistan, Clinton says
WASHINGTON • Seeking to burnish her national security credentials before an expected campaign for the White House in 2008, Senator Hillary Clinton called yesterday for the United States to send more troops into Afghanistan to aid embattled Canadian and NATO forces.
The Bush administration has its priorities “upside down” in the war on terror, she said, and the U.S. risks losing Afghanistan to the Taliban unless it boosts its military commitment.
In a letter to Robert Gates, the U.S. Defence Secretary, Mrs. Clinton urged the immediate deployment of two new infantry battalions — about 2,000 soldiers — to southern Afghanistan where Canadian forces are preparing for a Taliban offensive in the spring.
“The President’s team is pursuing a failed strategy in Iraq as it edges closer to collapse. Afghanistan needs more of our effort and attention,” she said at a Capitol Hill news conference. “It would be a great irony if the administration’s emphasis on escalating our presence in Iraq caused us to ignore the threats facing Afghanistan, where those responsible for planning the Sept. 11 attacks are still our enemies.”
